LITTLE LEARNERS: Lyttelton Primary School pupils have had their first day of learning in their brand new building. Pupils were welcomed to the new school, on the corner of
Oxford St and Sumner Rd, with a mihi whakatau, or formal welcome, on Monday morning. There were speeches and a cake cutting. Lyttelton Primary is the result of a merger
between Lyttelton Main and West schools. The school had been operating out of two separate sites until April 15, the last day of term one. • More photos, p17.

Intersection riddled with problems
CONFUSING: The Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board has asked
whether traffic signals could be installed at the bottom of St
Andrews Hill Rd, after a city council report criticised the layout of the
intersection.

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
The new Ferrymead bridge
intersection re-design is riddled
with problems, a report has
revealed.
The city council designed and
installed the Bridle Path and St
Andrews Hill Rds intersection,
which was operational in September.
But now its own traffic engineers
have found significant design
problems that they say should have
been picked up when a pre-construction
safety audit was done in
February 2014.
The problems include difficulties
turning right onto Bridle Path
Rd from St Andrews Hill Rd, the
speed of vehicles approaching
the intersection, a lack of visibility,
and queuing of vehicles.
Go Bus, which is contracted by
Environment Canterbury to run
bus routes in the area, said in the
report that the right turn out of
St Andrews Hill Rd was “almost
impossible for the drivers”.
Now, the Hagley-Ferrymead
Community Board, which
ordered the investigation, has
directed staff to come up with
ways of making the intersection
better, including the possibility
of putting in traffic signals at the
bottom of St Andrews Hill Rd.
The underground cables have
been laid for the signals, and it
would cost about $150,000 for
them to be activated.
Previously the Bay Harbour
News reported that residents
were frustrated with the intersection,
with many saying they
avoided using it.
The report said residents’
concerns were “valid” and the
intersection design was “far from
ideal”.
Community Board chairwoman
Sara Templeton said it was clear
the concerns raised were valid, and
while accidents were unlikely to be
serious, they were expected to be
commonplace.

Bid to bring cruise ships home
Report being
discussed behind
closed doors
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Location and costs of installing
a new Lyttelton cruise ship berth
have been discussed behind
closed doors.
A “highly confidential” report
has been developed and presented
to Christchurch City Holdings
Ltd last week, but it can
not be made public because it is
“commercially sensitive”.
CCHL is an investment arm of
the city council.
City councillor Ali Jones, who
is part of a working party set up
to support the cruise ship berth
rebuild in Lyttelton, said it was
now up to CCHL chief executive
Bob Lineham as to when
the information would go to the
city council.
She hoped it would be within
the month, however it was unlikely
to be made public then.
“It’s an extremely robust and
positive piece of work that I’m
really excited about it being
presented to council,” she
said.
Lyttelton’s cruise ship berth
was damaged in the earthquakes,
and cruise ships have been hosted
by Akaroa since, with mixed
reactions from businesses and
residents.
Cr Jones said the working party
saw the report first, and made
a few adjustments before it was
presented to the board.
“There is no indication at this
stage from council or any party
that a cruise berth will go ahead.
There is still much to do including
speaking with the cruise
lines who are obviously key
to any decision on a cruise
berth.”
However, she said she could
not express enough how “important”
it was to get cruise ships
back into Lyttelton.
Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community
Board chairwoman Paula
Smith said the board had not
seen the contents of the report,
but understood it looked into
economics.
She said it was important to
the board and local businesses
that cruise ships returned to
Lyttelton.
Before the earthquakes, when
ships came in, businesses would
see about a 10 per cent increase
WELCOME

in turnover, she said.
A Lyttelton Port of Christchurch
spokeswoman said LPC
would not comment on the rebuild.
Christchurch and Canterbury
Tourism chief executive Vic Allen
said rebuilding a cruise ship
berth in Lyttelton was being
worked on, and it was supporting
that effort.

PORT EXPANSION PROGRESS
Lyttelton Port of Christchurch’s
reclamation of Te Awaparahi Bay
has reached 9.35ha and is expected
to increase to 10ha this year. More
than 2,400,000 tonnes of earthquake
demolition material and
rubble has gone into the reclamation,
which has allowed the port
to expand. 5.5 hectares of the
reclamation is in use and another
hectare will be available mid-year.
COUNCILLOR STANDS DOWN
City councillor Tim Scandrett
wants to stand down from the
Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee
if a replacement can be found.
Cr Scandrett said the committee
meetings often clashed with his
Spreydon-Heathcote Community
Board meetings, making it difficult
for him to attend. While he still
kept up to date with what happened
in the meetings, he said he would
prefer if an elected member who
lived in the area took over.
UNHITCHING INVESTIGATION
Police have spoken to about 10
people about a $150,000 boat being
unhitched from its mooring in
Akaroa Harbour. The Debbie Jane,
a fishing trawler, was set afloat at
about 1.30am on April 23. Senior
Constable Anita Osborne said police
know of a number of vehicles
that were in the area at the time
and were continuing to investigate.
Anyone with information should
contact police on 363 7400 or
Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

LUCKY: A Christchurch man will appear in the district court on May 17
charged with driving with excess blood alcohol and careless driving,
after he crashed his truck near Birdlings Flat.
Drink driving charges for
driver of crashed truck
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
A man who crashed his vehicle
near Birdlings Flat in March
was allegedly more than three
times over the legal breath
alcohol limit.
Senior Constable Anita
Osborne said the Christchurch
man would appear in the district
court on May 17, charged
with driving with excess blood
alcohol and careless driving.
The 48-year-old was driving
home from Birdlings Flat
on March 30 at about 1.30pm
when he rolled his vehicle over
an embankment into a paddock
near Jones Rd.
He was cut from the vehicle
and flown to hospital and was
“very lucky” to have only sustained
bruising.
His alcohol reading, which
Senior Constable Osborne
would not disclose, was later
taken at hospital.
Senior Constable Osborne
said he had gotten his truck
stuck in sand near a fishing spot
overnight, and was towed out in
the morning.
He was driving back to
Christchurch the following day,
and had driven less than 2km,
when he crashed, she said.
Senior Constable Osborne
said he had “possibly fallen
asleep” and when she arrived
he smelt of alcohol.
Saturday is the day for a group of 20
daring dancers who will perform to
raise money for Sumner charities.
Strictly Sumner will be held at
Sumner School hall, where 10 couples
will show off what they have
learned - dance routines - over the
last two months in front of 500 supporters.
Guest judges for this year’s event
will be former The Bachelor NZ and
DANCE OFF: The Strictly Sumner contestants
will perform in front of guest judges, including

Saturday.
Dancing With the Stars contestant
Crystal Chenery, dance professional
Scott Cole and ONE News reporter
Lisa Davies.
Each couple has been having
dance lessons and practising over
the past two months, and will perform
choreographed routines.
The event follows last year’s Place-
Makers Fight for Sumner.
Saturday’s event is black tie and
guests at the VIP gala tables will
have a three course meal from Continental
Event Catering, and those
at elevated seating will have a supper
box provided by Nourish Food
Company.
The money raised will go towards
the chosen charities of each couple.

Jodi Wright
Veteran festival director’s work with writers,
Sumner’s Jodi Wright is again running the Cavell Leitch New
Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival which will take place this
month. She spoke to Bridget Rutherford about starting the
World Buskers Festival, living in Sumner and writing a novel
inspired by growing up around addiction
So can you tell me a bit about
this month’s Cavell Leitch NZ
Jazz and Blues Festival?
Well this is the 18 th Cavell
Leitch New Zealand Jazz and
Blues Festival. Post-earthquakes
it’s been a real
challenge because of the
venue situation. We’ve
spent the last couple of
years using different venues
but this is the first year
we’re back at a proper one,
the Isaac Theatre Royal.
This year’s event is also
a celebration of the jazz
school turning 25, so we’ll
have that on the first day
on May 25, and on May
26 we have the Ramsey
Lewis Quartet, they are
coming in from Chicago.
The festival
has been running
for a while, I feel
really great about
how the city’s
progressing and
the rebuild. We
also moved
the festival from April to May this year
because historically it has been in the
school holidays, but we wanted to incorporate
the great high school jazz bands.
This year it will feature four high school
jazz bands, but I would have preferred to
have more.
Where was the festival hosted after
the earthquakes?
We had some at The Bedford. We had
Charlie Musselwhite, one of the greatest
blues performers in the world, perform in
the student lounge at Christchurch Polytechnic
Institute of Technology (now Ara
Institute of Canterbury), which he was ok
to do because he comes from grassroots.
I told him the situation, that we had a
big earthquake, and he was like ‘wow,
I will come out’. Bonnie Raitt played
in the Christchurch Town Hall in 2008,
and came back in 2013 and was fully
aware of the quake. It’s been a challenge
in some ways to accommodate acts that
require a proper concert hall. The Piano
venue which is nearly built venue, looks
wonderful, so things are coming around.
Who will be at this month’s festival?
I have Ramsey Lewis and Tami Neilson
performing in the Transitional Cathedral,
doing a bluesy country show, and there
are so many other great performers. One
group has put together a Stevie Wonder
show. For four nights we have international
acts. We’ve also got great art work
this year, so it’s been good. We’ve got a
bit of everything, and even jazz shows at
The George.
So how long have you been running
the festival?
Eighteen years. I started the World
Buskers Festival, and I just retired from
that two years ago. Sometimes in the 90s
and 2000s I would be running three or
four festivals at a time. I was executive
director for the writers festival as well.
I don’t know how or why I did all of it
at the same time, but I would be running
from one to another.
Can you fill me in on how the World
Buskers Festival actually started?
Well, right about the time you were
born I moved to New Zealand from Seattle.
I had a difficult time because I come
from this background of events and marketing
and I had difficulty finding a job.
After a while of not finding a job, I called
the then mayor Vicki Buck. She was really
good and encouraging. She said she
had been planning to put a committee
together to start a Festival of Romance
and said I should apply for it. So I did,
and I got it. The Festival of Romance was
an outdoor arts and entertainment festival,
centred around the central city and
the Arts Centre for nine days, concluding
on Valentine’s Day. It was sweet, but
the funding for it just wasn’t happening.
Then I started the World Buskers Festi-
Wednesday May 4 2016
BAY HARBOUR
PAGE 7
buskers and the local music scene
val. Vicki and I came up with
the name of it. At the Festival
of Romance we had a few street
performers who would turn up,
which gave us the idea to hold
their own festival. I put together
the first festival, which had 10
performers in 1994. It grew and
grew and grew slowly. Then
suddenly it grew a lot.
Why did you decide to step
down?
I stepped down in November
2014, but I set up the whole line
up for 2015 festival beforehand.
I was writing a novel, I’ve been
a writer for a long time, but
I kept putting it on the back
burner. I had 22 years at the
World Buskers Festival, I just
thought something has to give.
I felt like I had taken it as far as
I could with the resources that
were available to me.
So you’re originally from
America, why the move to
New Zealand?
I married a man from South
Canterbury, he was in the
United States playing polo. I
met him at a jazz club. He sat
next to me, I had a friend with
me, but I couldn’t understand a
word he said. When he said he
played polo I assumed he played
water polo. I remember saying
to him ‘so you wear beanies on
Previously

your head and speedos’? And
he was like what? (laughs) His
name is Peter, and he is a car
dealer. We’ve always lived in
Christchurch.
How long have you been in
Sumner for?
I’ve lived in Sumner since
2003, for a long time. It’s
beautiful. It’s a nice village,
and there’s a nice feeling. I can
go out my door and walk all
the way to Godley Head. The
quakes did wipe us out, they
wiped everyone out, but things
are coming back around.
Do you have any kids?
Yes, they’re in their 30s, they
are in Christchurch. We’ve gone
back to the States often but it’s
hard to live somewhere else
then go back, the energy is so
different. Everything is a big
drama there, and with that election
everything is on edge. It
feels like reality television, like
a spoof. It’s calmer and easier
to live here. If you’re a creative
person and you want to spend
time writing or painting, there’s
a lot of space here to do that.
What I miss about the States is
my family.
And you mentioned before
you were writing a book, fill
me in.
It’s published now. It took a
year from when I left buskers to

Leitch New Zealand Jazz and Blues Festival in 2013, and is pictured
with Jodi.
finish it. It’s a novel called How
to Grow an Addict. I’ve been
writing for years and years. I
wrote this book because I have
experience of drug addiction
and alcohol addiction, but the
book is not my story. It was so
long ago, before I moved here.
I just grew up around heavy
drinkers, and I was one of those
teens who was always throwing
a party. I was the first one to
drink anything. It was fun for a
while until it wasn’t anymore.
So if people in the area
wanted to go to the jazz festival,
the closest would be at
Orange Studio?
Yes. I’m hoping to be able to
use Sumner Surf Life Saving
Club next year. But there will
be improvisation jazz shows at
Orange Studio.
Any plans to start up any
more festivals in the future?
You just never know. I will
never say no. If something
really great came along and I
thought the city could use this,
I would.

Ian Knewstubb of Lyttelton responds to
Paula Smith’s Soap Box column calling
for Lyttelton Port of Christchurch’s No 4
wharf to be turned into a public space:
As one who has spent over 25 years supporting
heritage in Lyttelton, this proposal
should be supported to the hilt.
It would be a perfect site for a new
Lyttelton Museum and the Diamond
Harbour Ferry.
With the move east for commercial
operations and the container trade of the
port company, and the relocation of many
civic activities to the corner of Canterbury
and London Sts, the visual relationship
between No 4 and the town is compelling.
With a pedestrian walkway over Norwich
Quay and rail operations, and with
enhanced public space developments as
found in Auckland etc, this would make
for a wonderful heritage area as befitting
the maritime history of Lyttelton.
I am well aware how this wharf has
been neglected but the cost of demolition
would be horrendous and such monies
could be set aside for maintenance and
preliminary developments.
There is no need for undue haste as we
are now just recovering from the terrible
loss of built heritage in Lyttelton.
Do you have a leaky home?
The Financial Assistance Package, which
helps people with a contribution to repair
leaky homes, is closing to new claims on
23 July 2016.
To give time for an assessment to be
undertaken, applications should be with
MBIE by 27 June 2016.

Readers respond to a
suggestion that the annual
Guy Fawkes fireworks display
at New Brighton could be
held at Sumner while the pier
receives repairs:
Diana Johnston, of Sumner
– No to an annual fireworks
display in Sumner.
Sumner area is just not
large enough to accommodate
potentially the thousands
of people who may attend.
Sumner roads are narrow,
constantly being worked on
and easily congested. Try
travelling to and from on a
Sunday afternoon.
Sumner hills in the last
couple of years have had at
least three fires, two where
empty (thank goodness)
properties were set alight
and burned to the ground,
and last week a scrub fire
on Scarborough was just
contained.
We have endured a fairly
tragic few years post the major
and minor earthquakes and I
would not like to see any more
risk taken down here.
I grew up in this area and
remember fireworks on Sumner
Beach, but this was minimal
compared to the huge event.
Christchurch now holds,
and mainly attended by
residents.
Lastly, New Brighton has a
much larger area of ocean and
beach than Sumner and plenty
of parking.
Hagley Park could also be
an appropriate venue with
plenty of open space and
accommodation for parking.
Jan Lisle - I am sure Sumner
would do a great job hosting
the fireworks and the
community would get behind
it.
Housing subsidy still needed
A Government heating and
insulation subsidy programme
comes to an end in June.
Community Energy Action
Charitable Trust chief executive
Caroline Shone writes this week’s
column about the importance
of the programme and why it
should continue in some form.
Shelter is one
of the most basic
of human needs
and the Universal
Declaration of
Human Rights
says that everyone
has the right to
housing.
It can be debated that housing
that makes people sick, isn’t
housing at all.
However houses that are damp,
houses that are cold, with the
people living in them unable
to heat them to an adequate
temperature to keep them healthy,
are a reality for many households
in Christchurch.
The old, the young and the sick
suffer most in those houses.
We all know the result.
Every winter sees many
residents ending up in hospital
with preventable cold-related
health issues. Even healthy people
get sick more often in those cold,
damp houses.
From experience we know that
SOAP
BOX
installing insulation and heating
in people’s homes especially those
with health conditions will reduce
hospitalisations, delivering cost
savings to the health system.
Installing insulation and heating
is a one-off cost but the benefits
last a long time, saving money on
health and saving lives every year.
The Government through
the Energy Efficiency and
Conservation Authority (EECA)
have spent $450 million
nationwide on insulation and
heating subsidies over the last
couple of years.
And we know it has made a
difference.
The current subsidy programme
comes to an end in June this year.
It would be fantastic if subsidies
would be available in the future
for those who need insulation.
It’s a great way for Christchurch
people to help those in their
community who need a bit of help
to create a warm, dry, healthy
home.

TRICKY JOB: Abseilers began getting rid of loose rocks on the cliff above
Moa Bone Cave last week.
Rock danger removed
Abseilers began scaling loose
rocks from the cliffs around
Sumner last week as part of
a project to reduce the risk of
hazardous rock falls to the Sumner
-Lyttelton lifeline route.
The scaling work began last
Tuesday on the cliff above Moa
Bone Cave with abseilers using
crowbars and airbags to leverage
loose rock from the cliff face.
City council senior geotechnical
engineer Dr Ian Wright said crow
bars were efficient at removing the
smaller rocks, but airbags were
necessary for some of the bigger
ones.
They were slipped in behind the
rock and inflated like a balloon.
Once inflated, they applied up to 24
tonnes of pressure behind the rock,
causing it to become unstable and
collapse into a safe area below.
It was a better alternative than
blasting in a residential area, Dr
Wright said.
The work will minimise the
risk of dangerous rock falls in the
event of future trigger events such
as earthquakes.
Other cliffs around Sumner
would be tackled in the coming
months.
Other hazard reduction work
planned around Sumner includes
construction of a 3m high, 300m
long rock stack bund in front of
Shag Rock Reserve, also known
as Peacock’s Gallop.
The bund, which will have a 2m
high mesh security fence erected
in front of it, is designed to
catch any rocks that fall from the
cliff face above if another quake
strikes.
It will be constructed entirely
from material that has already
fallen from the cliff.
Heritage award recognition
for landmark buildings
HISTORIC: The Gaiety was one of
35 finalists in this year’s Canterbury
Heritage Awards.
Three Akaroa landmarks and
a Ferrymead house are finalists
in the Canterbury Heritage
Awards.
Akaroa’s Banksia Cottage is
nominated for an award in the
Domestic Saved and Restored
category. It’s work was carried
out by Plane Tree Ltd.
The Gaiety, which was
repaired and officially opened
last month, is up for the Public
Realm Saved and Restored
award.
Banks Peninsula War Memorial
was repaired by Fulton Hogan
after sustaining earthquake
damage, it is in the running for
the Seismic category.
The memorial, which is
owned by a trust rather than the
city council or the Returned and
Services Association, was officially
reopened in October.
Curragh House, in Ferrymead,
will go for the Heritage Tourism
award.
A new Christ’s College
building, which is named after
Governors Bay resident and architect
Sir Miles Warren, is up
for the Future Heritage award.
There were nearly 80 entries
for the biennial awards, with
35 finalists selected to progress
through to the awards ceremony
on June 9.
The ceremony will be held in
the newly restored Great Hall in
the Christchurch Arts Centre.

Dancing in the

March is always one of the
busiest sales months of the year,
and this March was no exception!
Not only has Autumn provided
stellar weather to our beach
and hillside suburbs, it has been
a stellar month for Ray White
Ferrymead with very strong
sales during the past month. The
level of buyer enquiry remains
strong across all areas of the
market. The Ray White quarterly
list auctions, held on April 20th
at the Novotel, demonstrates
the enduring power of selling
property under the hammer, with
62.5 % sold on the day.
Our office continues to see
continuing high interest in ‘As is
Where Is’ properties, with a large
database seeking information
solely on these types of
properties as soon as the listing is
live. Overall sales volumes across
the Canterbury region are up by
24% compared to February, with
a rise of 19% increase in sales
volume compared to March last
year. Median house prices across
the Canterbury region for this
time of year are up 1-2%. REINZ
Regional Director, Jim Davis
commented that “it is noticeable
that stock levels are decreasing
again as new listings are, once
again, in short supply and sold
stock is not being replaced as
quickly. This slowdown of new
listing stock coupled with strong
sales has meant prices have
tended to remain strong and
steady so far this year across the
market and the drop in days on
market is a good indication of the
markets current strength.”
Our Loan Market representative
Antonia McAtamney has
commented that the Reserve
Bank has left the official cash
rate (OCR) unchanged at 2.25%.
So what that means for home
buyers, is that bank rates will
remain stable for the foreseeable
future.
Another hot topic around our
office besides property is the up
and coming “Strictly Sumner”
dance event, in which our very
own Principal, and twinkle toes,
Craig Prier will feature! Craig has
fortunately been partnered with
the tall and graceful Kath Cross,
owner of The Cornership Bistro!
As much as we like to give Craig
a hard time around the office
about his ‘2 left feet’, Craig has
pushed himself out of his comfort
zone entirely, and is doing this
to support the local Sumner
community. Craig and Kath have
Kath Cross and Craig Prier
Craig Prier
nominated the Sumner Resident’s Association as their
chosen charity.
Clayton Spence, Chair of the Association said money
raised will be used to purchase “some new funky signs
to advertise what we have to offer in this great village
of Sumner”. Strictly Sumner is a community fundraising
event with 10 charities in total represented. All funds
raised on the night are shared between these charities,
however all Give-A- Little proceeds go directly to the
Sumner Residents Association and are not shared.
At print current donations are $2, 161. This event will be
held at the Sumner School Hall on Saturday May 7th 2016.

Amputee’s story told $2.5m needed for health facility
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
When Trixie Wuts was born
her parents had a very difficult
decision to make whether or not
to amputate both of her legs to
the knee.
On the advice of medical professionals,
Trixie’s parents Anton
and Margot decided amputation
was the best solution.
Their experience has been
documented in a childrens’ book
distributed by the Amputee Society
of Canterbury and Westland
to help families facing a similar
choice.
The society helped get a $5000
grant for the publishing and
distribution of the book from the
Artificial Limb Service.
Little Jellybean was written by
Margot and illustrated by Anton
based on their experience.
Trixie was diagnosed with distal
arthrogryposis before she was
born, meaning she had crooked
or hooked joints in her feet.
She had many procedures
done when she was born, which
attempted to correct the deformities
in both of her feet, but they
were largely unsuccessful.
The surgery was successful
and Trixie now “leads a full and
active life” with her new feet.
Amputee Society of Canterbury
and Westland president
Mark Bruce said the more families
that can be reached with the
book, the better.
“It’s about raising awareness
for parents in a situation where
their child is very unwell. The
story is mainly about the parents
having to make an incredibly
tough decision to help their children,”
he said.
Mr Bruce said the book will
become an invaluable source for
those looking for support.
“If you have a young one with
an amputation or have a young
one about to undergo an amputation
then this is a great resource.
“The future of the federation is
in its youth . . . If we can affect
just one family with the help of
this book, then it’s been a worthwhile
venture,” he said.
The society are making copies
of the book available from
their national and regional coordinators,
who can be contacted
on www.af.org.nz.

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
The Akaroa community now has
to raise $2.5 million for its new
health facility, which is expected
to be open by the end of next
year.
The Canterbury District Health
Board announced on Monday the
design of the facility was ready
to go out for tender.
It hopes to begin construction
in November, with it completed
before the end of 2017.
Final costings for the new
facility are still being worked
through, but in order to include
beds for aged residential care,
the community will have to
contribute $2.5 million.

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch is
sponsoring a programme
that helps keep youth away from
drug-use, violence and crime.
LPC has sponsored a vehicle
for the Canterbury Youth
Development Programme.
It will mean co-ordinators
can make home visits to
disadvantaged youth and their
families, and provide transport
for youth to work and get an
education.
LPC chief executive Peter
Davie said the company
was delighted to support the
programme’s work.
“Thanks to the work of the
CYDP many youths now have
the opportunity to get into the
workforce and get their lives
back on track,” he said.
“We hope our contribution
damaged in both the
September 2010 and February
2011 earthquakes and later
demolished.
The new facility
would have eight aged
residential care beds and
four general practice
beds for inpatients, and
would house the general
practice and other
community services.
A community-owned
company, Akaroa Health Hub
Ltd, will be the provider of the
services.
The Akaroa Health Hub
Structure Group has already
raised about $400,000 to go
towards the facility.
Group chairman Alan Bradford
said the announcement that it
supports safer and more secure
homes for Canterbury’s youth
and the flow-on effects can
benefit the region that we live
and work in.”
Programme chief executive
and co-founder Bevan Seal said

tender was “the best news we’ve

He said raising the money
would be a lot of hard

Originally the structure

million for the facility,
however, Ngai Tahu
Property Ltd pulled out
of the project in August.
District health board
chief executive David Meates
(left) said detailed financing
and ownership were still being
worked through, but sufficient
time would be provided for the
community fundraising target.
That would not impact
that construction schedule, he

The Mandibles: A Family, 2029–2047
by Lionel Shriver
The brilliant new novel from the Orange Prize-winning
author of We Need to Talk about Kevin centres on three
generations of The Mandible family as a fiscal crisis
hits a near-future America. ‘In God We Trusted’.
It is 2029. The Mandibles have been counting on a sizable
fortune filtering down when their 97-year-old patriarch dies.
Yet America’s soaring national debt has grown so enormous that it can never
be repaid. Under siege from an upstart international currency, the dollar is
in meltdown. A bloodless world war will wipe out the savings of millions of
American families. Their inheritance turned to ash, each family member must
contend with disappointment, but also — as the effects of the downturn start to
hit — the challenge of sheer survival.
Recently affluent Avery is petulant that she can’t buy olive oil, while her sister
Florence is forced to absorb strays into her increasingly cramped household.
As their father Carter fumes at having to care for his demented stepmother now
that a nursing home is too expensive, his sister Nollie, an expat author, returns
from abroad at 73 to a country that’s unrecognisable. Perhaps only Florence’s
oddball teenage son Willing, an economics autodidact, can save this formerly
august American family from the streets. This is not science fiction. This is
a frightening, fascinating, scabrously funny glimpse into the decline that
may await the United States all too soon, from the pen of perhaps the most
consistently perceptive and topical author of our times.
Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All
by Jonas Jonasson
A madcap new novel from the one-of-a-kind author of THE HUNDRED-YEAR-
OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT OF THE WINDOW and THE GIRL WHO SAVED
THE KING OF SWEDEN. IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN. AND AGAIN. It’s
always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing. When it happens at
a certain grotty hotel in south Stockholm, it’s particularly awkward because the
money belongs to the hitman currently staying in room seven. Per Persson, the
hotel receptionist, just wants to mind his own business, and preferably not get
murdered. Johanna Kjellander, temporarily resident in room eight, is a priest
without a vocation, and, as of last week, without a parish. But right now she has
two things at her disposal: an envelope containing five thousand kronor, and an
excellent idea . . . Featuring one violent killer, two shrewd business brains and
many crates of Moldovan red wine, Hitman Anders and the Meaning of It All is
an outrageously zany story with as many laughs as Jonasson’s multimillioncopy
bestseller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window
and Disappeared.

Coming together
ALL GO: Work is progressing on Living Springs’ Founders Field
project, with the hard surfaced sports court being sealed last week.
The finished project will include a playing field, the court, and a
picnic area. Living Springs chief executive Denis Aldridge said it was
all coming together, and they hoped to see it finished within the
next few weeks. “This is a wonderful project coming together here
which includes Founders Field, a large scale sporting field which
opens up a whole lot of possibilities including concerts, jamborees,
and large events with lots of tents and all the rest,” he said.

Top tips for swimmers
Two young swimmers from Mt Pleasant
and Sumner got the chance to learn
from the best at a national swimming
camp.
Mt Pleasant’s Oliver Aikawa, and
Sumner’s Hugo Tresfield qualified for
the 36-member Jetstar Super Swim
Squad Camp which was held in Auckland
from April 23-25.
Both qualified for the camp after winning
their age groups in the NZ Ocean
Swim Series race at Corsair Bay last
year.
The coaches for the camp was captained
by Northern Arena head of
swimming Dean Kent, and included
double Olympic gold medalist Danyon
Loader, and Rio 2016 Olympic qualifier
Emma Robinson.
Recently crowned winners of the
2015/2016 New Zealand Ocean Swim
Series, Olympic hopefuls Charlotte
Webby and Nathan Capp were also on
the coaching team, as well as elite Australian
open water swimmer, Michael
Shiel.

Fitch recorded a personal

Fitch finished 11th overall

although Fitch tends to do
better in cross-country, he
performed well to take the
win.
“Traditionally more comfortable
running the crosscountry
and road races up
to 15km or a half marathon,
the marathon distance was a
big step up for Fitch.
“In spite of a less than
ideal build up, he ran a

Wells said she was

“I have watched Fitch run
so many races and know
the signs when things aren’t
going so well. So it was a
relief when he ran through
the 24km mark looking
strong,” she said.
She said he continued to
maintain consistent pace for
the rest of the race in spite
of some cramping issues.
“Running into the finishing
straight he was flying
and he was two minutes
clear of the next finisher,”
she said.
Meanwhile, the Sumner
Running Club started their
winter cross-country season
during the school holidays
with two races.
The opening event was
the Hagley Memorial
relays, held over Anzac
weekend, followed by
the Lionel Fox relays, at
Woodend Beach Domain on
Saturday.
In the Lionel Fox relays,
Ben Ainsley and Nathan
Jones took out first and
second in the masters men’s
individual placings.
The top individual placings
went to second-placed
Sam Clark, and third-placed
Victoria Wells.
Sumner’s senior men’s

the under 18 relay team
of Emilio Kennedy, John
Wells, Victoria Wells, and
Sam Clark placed sixth

ORGANIC HORTICULTURE COURSES
Instruction in organic horticulture is
now well established at the Lincolnbased
Organic Training College. The
next year-long course, which begins
on 1st August, will be the ninth
intake for the college. Students need
no prior qualifications or experience
to commence Year One and can
study full or part-time. Those who
have some horticultural background
can go straight into Year Two.
An added appeal of the course is that
all fees are under $500, and full time
students are eligible to apply for a
loan or allowance through Studylink.
Course Director Bill Martin says it
works well to start the course year in
the spring. “The organic horticulture
course is all about growing so we
want to start the course in spring
when it is the right time to begin
planting.”
Year One students get plenty of
hands on training in subjects such as
sowing and planting organic crops,
soil management and composting.
The Year Two students have the
option of using land and facilities
on the Biological Husbandry Unit
(BHU) Farm to grow and sell their
own certified produce – a semicommercial
venture that gives
students a real taste of organic
horticulture as a business. The
students grow vegetables under the
guidance of a mentor and sell them
at a weekly stall at Lincoln University
“The Year Two programme gives the
students experience in a commercial
environment without any risk. It’s
the icing on the cake for a lot of the
students here,” says Bill Martin.
As well as the year-long organic
horticulture courses a distance
(correspondence) programme in
organics is also available.
The Organic Training College is
located at the Biological Husbandry
Unit at Lincoln University. There
are 10 hectares of certified organic
land as well as greenhouses, tunnel
houses and research areas.

Twins with football talent
Last week Bay Harbour
News reported on promising
football player Ryan
Nicholson. But there is
also another part of the
Nicholson sporting equation
– his twin sister Britneylee.
Fraser Walker-Pearce
reports.
The Nicholson twins started
sport at age four when Britneylee
copied her slightly younger
brother’s choice to take it up, and
a friendly rivalry started.
Now, 12 years later, the Mt
Pleasant twins are fiercely
competitive, and “always” push
each other to do better and
succeed.
Ryan was picked to represent
New Zealand in the upcoming
Super Cup, to be held in
Northern Ireland in July. He
also plays for the St Andrew’s
College first 11, the Coastal
Spirit men’s reserves team, and
is a Canterbury futsal player.
Meanwhile, Britneylee is a
successful footballer, playing
premier football for club,
Coastal Spirit, as well as being
an age group representative for
Canterbury for both football and
futsal. She won the golden boot
at last year’s futsal nationals
competition.
Britneylee said they challenge
each other’s performance when
they get home from a match.
“We’re both very competitive,
we always compare who’s
scored more goals and things
like that,” she said.
“I was born before Ryan, so
I kind of hold that over him,”
Britneylee said.
Ryan said they disagree
on who is smarter, and who
their favourite footballer is.
Ryan’s favourite footballer is
Argentinian Lionel Messi, while
Britneylee prefers Portuguese
international Cristiano Ronaldo.
But they can agree that
Manchester City is their
favourite English Premier
League team.
Britneylee is usually a striker
in her teams, while Ryan prefers
to play in the midfield, which
Ryan said makes it hard to define
who is better.
“We play completely different
positions so it’s hard to say who’s
the better footballer,” he said.
If football doesn’t work out for
the twins, they each have a back
up job in mind.
Britneylee said: “I’d want to
be an architect, and go to an
American college.”
Ryan said: “I’d want to be a
football coach, and give back to
the game a bit.”
They also share a twin
instinct. Ryan said if his sister is
thinking of particular subjects,
he “generally” knows what it
will be.
“I can generally gather the
vibe of what she’s thinking,” he
said.
BIG
AMBITIONS:

doesn’t work

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Ferrymead Bays are in a rich vein
of form having won their last two
games on the trot.
After beating Western 4-1 over
Anzac Weekend, Bays took on
Halswell on Saturday and beat
them by the same margin.
The back-to-back wins see
Bays rise from seventh place to
fourth in the Mainland Premier
League.
First team coach Danny Halligan
said after a slow start to the
season, he is pleased with how
his side are progressing.
“They’re just a couple of wins,
but we are making up ground
from some disappointing results
earlier in the season,” he said.
Bays will play Coastal Spirit
this week. Coastal are currently
second with 17 points from eight
matches.
The match will kick off at
2.45pm at ASB Football Park on
Saturday.

Still Pedalling!
Baby of Focus range alluring
ROSS KIDDIE
The arrival of Ford’s new
Mustang has generated a
heightened level of excitement
within the performance car
market in New Zealand.
The Mustang capped off
a busy year for Ford during
2015, notwithstanding there
was a new Mondeo, a Ranger
refresh, and a heavily upgraded
and revamped Focus.
This evaluation surrounds the
Focus which lands here in both
wagon and hatchback forms;
amidst those variants are four
engine options and several
specification levels.
The test car was my personal
favourite, the Sport hatchback
with its 1.5-litre, four-cylinder
engine. There are bigger
engines – 1.6-litre to 2-litre
and diesel – but I find the baby
of the series quite alluring.
Ford has really embraced
turbocharging technologies,
and the Ecoboost 1.5-litre
stands out for its honesty and
low down torquey characteristics.
The turbocharger not
only helps pump up the power
outputs – 132kW and 240Nm
– but it is also a mechanism for
promoting fuel efficiency.
Ford claims a 6.7-litre
per 100km (42mpg) combined
cycle rating for the
S-specification Ecoboost
FORD FOCUS: Dynamic in terms of power delivery.
Focus. That correlates well
with the 8l/100km (35mpg)
average showing constantly
on the test car’s trip computer,
along with a 5.5l/100km
(51mpg) instantaneous readout
cruising at a steady 100km/h,
the engine quite unstressed at
just 1800rpm.
And if you think small displacement
engines can’t hack
it in terms of performance,
the opposite applies, maximum
torque is available all
of the way from 1600rpm to
5000rpm. The Focus in this
from is feisty, it will scamper
to 100km/h from a standstill
in 8.5sec, and lunge through
a highway overtake in 5sec
(80km/h-120km/h).
Not only does the engine
stand out for its solid power
delivery, it works through the
transmission to provide strong
engine braking on an easing
throttle. If you use that in conjunction
with the paddle-shift
system, the Focus S does feel
sporty, it is punchy and dynamic
in terms of power delivery.
The new enhancements
for 2016 include engineering
changes which have made
the Focus even quieter and
less vulnerable to coarse chip
road seal surfaces. At highway
speed it is superbly quiet, that
only broken by the eager throb
of the engine under load, it’s
not overbearing, but when
you request acceleration, it is
audible.
The suspension and chassis
settings are biased towards
a controlled ride and strong
steering turn-in. You can really
lean on the Focus in a corner
and it will respond with decisive
handling manners and
SPECIFICATIONS
Price: Ford Focus S, $38,340.
Dimensions: Length,4399mm;
width, 1823mm; height, 1469mm.
Configuration: Four-cylinder,
front-wheel-drive, 1498cc, 132kW,
240Nm, six-speed automatic.
Performance: 0-100km/h,
8.9sec.
Fuel usage: 6.7l/100km
controlled suspension movement.
It’s that level of quality
which makes the Focus a desirable
purchase. At $38,340 for
the S-spec model you get all
the trick gear which is landing
in Ford product these days.
Items such as satellite navigation,
keyless entry and ignition,
voice recognition and
smartphone connectivity are
all included. There’s also a
massive amount of safety gear
and function which help in the
everyday missions we have to
tackle as drivers.
Some include enhanced
active park assist, and parallel
and perpendicular park assist.
One of the key safety features
I like is the driver impairment
monitor, it works alongside the
lane keeping aid and alerts to
keep the driver aware that he/
she should be taking a break.
Even though the Focus sits
in the Mustang’s shadow it is
still an integral part of Ford’s
line-up.

The 3 Step Plan to Make
Healthy Habits Stick
Health and Wellness Coach Annabelle Matson gives us her 3 step
plan on how to make healthy habit stick. Add, modify and delete,
it’s as easy as ABC
When it comes to eating
habits and making
improvements to our
health in general, trying
to change absolutely everything about
our lifestyle overnight, very rarely
works. We often think: “if I can’t eat /
do things perfectly, I shouldn’t bother
at all”. As a recovering perfectionist I
totally get that. However this clearly
doesn’t support success. It just keeps us
stuck right where we are, on the dieting
roller coaster, never seeing results for
the long term.
I always say to my clients, “overtime
not overnight”. We want to do things
gradually, because that’s what results in
permanent change. Why weight loss and
many health programs often don’t work,
is because we go from eating whatever
we want, to restricting everything.
So instead of drastically restricting
everything, use my 3 step tool – add,
modify and delete.
A: Pick one thing you want to add
B: Pick one thing you want to modify
C: Pick one thing you want to delete
For example:
Add: A morning meditation to centre
you for the day.
Modify: Refined sugar intake. Alcohol
is a huge source of sugar – so instead of
drinking during the week, stick to a few
just on the weekends.
Delete: Eating after 8pm.
Commit to the add, modify, delete plan for 30 days. Once that all becomes a habit –
start a new add, modify, delete plan.
When you do steps incrementally like that, it creates new habits. You won’t feel
overwhelmed and it feels really manageable. Like magic, it all starts to become a
lifestyle that you LOVE and that are you motivated to sustain.

Tips
Protect yourself for up to 3 months from
cold & flu
It’s coming into the time of year to be thinking about prevention of
colds & flu. Buccaline is an oral antibacterial prophylaxis for the
prevention of secondary bacterial infections associated with cold
and flu. Buccaline provides active immunisation against bacterial
colds. Illnesses of the upper respiratory are often caused by bacterial
infections. Viral and influenza-like illnesses are frequently made worse
by an additional bacterial infections and take longer to recover from.
Immunology investigations show that Buccaline significantly improves
resistance to colds and flu. Protection becomes effective after taking
the last set of tablets. To maintain effectiveness as well as taking
Buccaline at the beginning of the cold season take it again in the
middle of the cold season. Tablets should be swallowed whole with
some liquid one-hour before breakfast or lunch.

Ask your pharmacist if Buccaline is right for you.
